What else can I help you with?
Do matches work on the moon?
Without an atmosphere or oxygen, a match wont even spark, or even light up.
Do flares work on the moon?
No, flares do not work on the moon because there is no oxygen in the moon's atmosphere to sustain combustion.
Do guns work on the moon?
No, guns would not work on the moon because there is no atmosphere to support combustion, which is necessary for a gun to fire. Additionally, there is no oxygen on the moon, so there would be no way for a gunpowder-based firearm to function.
Does a match work on the moon?
no. there is no atmosphere on the moon and fire needs oxygen to burn.
Would a 0.45 caliber pistol work on the moon?
Actually it would because one of the ingredients in gun powder is potassium nitrate which is an oxidising agent. This supplies the powder with the oxygen it needs to burn of "deflagrate". Guns can, but shouldn't be fired underwater, so yes you can fire a gun on the moon.
Which children's TV programme had a moon whistle?
The idea is crazy and impossible. There is no atmosphere on the moon, hence the need for space helmets, oxygen tanks, etc, when in EVA- popularily called Moon Walking. a whistle is dependend on sound, which does not carry in a vacuum-for this reason-and the absence of wind resistance, lunar landing vehicles do not have to be aerodynamically sound and their speed is not related in Mach numbers. a Moon Whistle, it is a contradiction in terms. maybe an alarm system at a missile base- but they would have sirens and more sophisticated things- on earth. it would not work in airless moon scape.
Why is a jet called a air breathing engine?
A jet engine uses fuel from the aircraft's fuel tanks, but gets its oxidizer from oxygen in the air. So it won't work in space, where there is no air. A similar engine that carried its own oxygen would be called a "rocket", and WOULD work in space - because it wouldn't need air.

Would a balance work properly on the moon?
Yes, your balance would not be affected on the moon.
Would 45 caliber pistols work on the moon?
It depends what mechanism they use. An air pistol which uses compressed air would work, but any mechanism which needs ignition (e.g. a traditional firearm where the bullet is propelled by gunpowder) or an external air source would not.
Would a spring balance work on the moon?
A spring balance would work on the moon but would first have to be re-calibrated for the moons lower gravity.
Would guns work on the moon?
That would depend upon whether the charge used to fire the weapon had its own source of oxygen or not. The explosion is a very rapid oxidation and requires that oxygen to explode. Most modern smokeless powders contain their own oxygen source. If the temperature is hot enough, and that may be difficult in space, it should burn and allow the weapon to fire. If there is an internal source of that oxygen, a gun will fire normally in space. Because of the lack of atmosphere and reduced gravity, the bullet will travel faster and farther.
